another one bites the dust
another Hillary supporter, that is--the results of tonight's primaries and Hillary's non-concession did it.

2. I think that person supported Obama. It's just that she would have
gladly supported Hillary as the nominee, but now her feelings have changed.

3. oh, ok. Thanks for clarifying that.
That's how I feel too. Some time ago I would have grudgingly voted for HRC. Now it would be like voting for a Republican. Can't help feeling that way when I see the tactics and total disregard for the Democratic Party.

I didn't hear the speech live (had the mute on), but watched a 3 min. section of it replayed this morning. It was all about her--she gloated and was ugly. Obama's speech was the exact opposite--what a true statesman! Her speech only served to show the stark contrast between the two. And he had Michelle with him. She didn't dare bring Bill out in public.

Going forward I see a clear choice between the two:
1)a true progressive who is a public servant in the mold of Kennedy, Kerry, Leahy, Durbin, or Feingold, v.s.
2)an ambitious, selfish DLC pol who cares nothing for her party or its chances of taking back the White House and seats down-ticket.

When the smoke clears, Obama will still have the delegates going forward. But now we have a fight on our hands.
